And Then There Were None
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, fix, four, three, two, one, none. And Then There Were None was an ¿edge of your seat¿ book. This page turner was a fantastic mystery book for kids, and adults. On a deserted island, Soldier Island, was where these ten mysterious tragedies took place. With an unknown man/women giving out invites to come to Soldier Island, but they¿re not ready for what they are getting into. With all ten criminals, yes criminals, put together it makes for an incredible mystery book. This incredible book is definitely first class material. On the kitchen table there were ten little glass figures, but when Anthony Marston died there was nine, and it keeps going down. Nobody can be so sure if people are telling the truth. Trusting your own instinct is huge in real life, and the book. The writing style of this book is a little challenging, but it makes you think. Once you starting thinking about everything that¿s going everything, everything falls into place. Anyone could read this book if they are up for a challenge, and a great mystery. The problem is once you pick of this great book, there is no turning back.Show Less

This book is awesome!
Eight strangers were invited in an isolated island by a mysterious couple. As they reached the isolated island, they found a house but found no one except for a butler and his wife. But where are the couple who invited them? Until during dinner, they heard a mysterious voice accusing all of them, including the butler and his wife, that they are all murderers! Until one by one, they start to die...
I love the characters. The plot and the settings are also awesome! The twists are awesome, too! It is very suspenseful and thrilling. It is also a bit scary. The ending is very surprising!
Agatha Christie is my favorite author.10 out of 12 people found this review helpful.

A great introduction to the mystery genre.
I always say, if you're going to start reading mysteries, start with Agatha Christie. And if you're going to start reading Agatha Christie, start with And Then There Were None (also published as Ten Little Indians).
I really enjoy this book. I've read it several times over the 15 years I've been aware of it. I enjoy the writing, the plot, and especially the use of the poem in the book. I tend to like this more than any of the books in one of her series. I think when authors write outside of their popular characters and environments, they tend to write better. I love it when I forget the ending and I am in just as much suspense as the first time I read it. In fact, I may be in more suspense because the story is a bit familiar, so I have that hint of nostalgia, but I still don't remember the secret! This is just such a fun book to read. I highly highly recommend it.7 out of 7 people found this review helpful.

Agatha Christie is my bffl!!!!!!!!!!
And Then There Were None is undoubtedly Agatha Christie's most popular piece of literature ever written. With some insane number of millions of copies sold worldwide, the British author became a major name in the genre of mystery. While the beginning of the story is a bit mundane and lacks the suspense that is abundant in the chapters to come, readers should not be discouraged and continue to read past this brief piece of boringness in order to savor the rest of the emotion drenched and suspenseful novel. Kudos to Ms. Christie. To anyone who so much as enjoyed this book, I reccomend The Mirror Cracked From Side to Side, another tale by Agatha Christie. It has a voice much different than that of And Then There Were None's, but all of the rich, classic, and enigmatic nature of the the latter.

This is one of my absolute favorite books! Very good and suspenseful. But maybe it's just me who can't figure it out before the ending, lol.

I had a hard time keeping all the characters straight. However, it kept me interested enough to keep reading to find out "who did it"
I thought it was an original murder mystery.

an amazing thriller that i can read over and over again and not get bored!!!
I saw the play to this book before I read it and I still got chills reading it. When Agatha Christie explained these characters I could picture them extremely easily. It was like a picture being painted before my eyes. You could tell that in this book she put major thought into her characters. Like there personalities and how they would act around people and just the thoughts in their heads when certain things happened. It was truly amazing. Some of the characters in the book reminded me of the people that I have met throughout my life. Like Philip Lombard is like the laid back "cool" guy that cares more about his reputation than anything else and likes to be portrayed as the "bad boy." Tony Marston the young heart throb that all the girls wants to go out with or just wishes he would give them the time of day and he knew he was like that so milked it for all it was worth. Mr. Blore the happy go lucky spirit. I am positive that anybody could find a relation to at least one of the characters in the story, no matter who you are. The story has some amazing twists that you would never expect. Just when you think you have solved the mystery because all the signs point to someone a curve ball is thrown in like they die or something random. This is definitely a thriller book. It's and ending you would not suspect in a million years. This book barely has any dull spots you are always at the edge of your seat wondering who's going to die next? Who is really the killer? Is there more than one killer? Will I ever find out who this person is? Will anyone ever find them? Why doesn't help ever come? Most of those answers you won't find at the end of the book, you have to read the epilogue. The epilogue answers so many questions it even shares how the killer got away with all of its work and how it found all those "innocent" people. This book really makes you think about life. It makes you wonder if you could really trust the people around you. It really makes you wonder if people are always what they appear to be, if they are hiding something. I guess we will never know but I do know that And Then There Were None is by far one of the greatest mystery book I have ever read in y life.

Agatha Christie's Best
There aren't many original words left to review this book- it's nearly pointless to try. So, I will be thoroughly unoriginal: Read the book! (Over 3oo hundred people have told you to before me.)

Greatest Mystery Book
This is one of the greatest books I have ever read. It is the quintessential mystery by renowned author Agatha Christie. In it, ten people are stranded on an island and slowly start getting picked off. They must band together to figure out who is the mastermind behind this plot. Full of twists and surprises, the ending is one of the greatest I have ever seen.

And Then There Were None
This book starts with ten strangers invited to the well-known Indian Island by a U N Owen. In all of the guest¿s rooms, there is a poem called `Ten Little Indians¿. All of the guests then go down to dinner. A record on the gramophone says each of the guests is guilty of a murder. The guests then slowly begin to die, after telling the truth about the recording. Not only do they die, but the deaths follow a pattern. The people on the island then try to figure out who is the murderer. This book is full of mystery and suspense. I recommend it, even for people who don¿t normally read mystery books. It will keep you turning pages until the end.

And Then There Were None
And Then There Were None
By: Agatha Christie
Reviewed by Katie
The mysterious U.N. Owen, a murderous, crazy, psychotic, unknown person intentionally invites 10, somewhat guilty people, of murder, people that the law didn't recognize as killers, to his/her house. Each one of them unknowing of the fate they were walking head-on in to, accepted the invitation to a big mansion on the lonely Indian Island. Slowly each of them was murdered according to an old Indian nursery poem. But who is the murderer?
The writing style of this book was very interesting to me. In every chapter there were smaller chapters that focused on one single person's perspective. With this style you were able to understand and perceive things through that certain persons eyes. I think at the beginning of the book its was very confusing because you had absolutely no idea who these people were and you weren't used to seeing things the way the do, you didn't know their personalities. I t was also confusing because there was so many guy characters. It was easy to keep the two girls strait but very hard for the boys because after awhile all of their names seemed similar and they all act alike.
I liked this book. I recommend you read this if you are into the mysterious murder stories also I would recommend young kids don't read it because of the violence.
I rate this book three stars out of five.1 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

A Long Time Ago
I read this book about four years ago, and I have yet to read a better mystery book than this one. If I can recall, this book had a ginormous twist at the end. I love the idea of this story and the thrilling scenes as well as the scenes that blew my mind. A great story; a must-read.

Edge of my Seat!
This book had me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. I swear that I feared my heart would pop out of my chest at some points in the book. I was always on my toes trying to figure out who the killer was and was greatly surprised at the end of the book, which I thought was brilliant! Overall I enjoyed reading it and will probably end up reading it again at some point. If you're looking for a good murder mystery than this is it!

Slow beginning
The story starts off slow only to speed up at an almost exponential pace. This has to be one of her best works and also one of the finest works in the mystery genre. The ending was just beyond my imagination.

Not As Good As I Expected
This novel was not as good as I had expected it to be. I blame this in part on the numerous movie plots that followed the layout of this novel. I guess am just desensitized to the plot and that it is why it was not very intriguing to me. But, overall its a good read if you want something to get through pretty fast like if your on vacation or if you have a long flight, then this book is the one to pick. It still qualifies as good literature but is light and quick enough to read during such times.

This is the best book I've ever read!
This book is filled with mystery and psychological drama. Ten strangers are invited to a secluded island for the weekend. Their hosts are nowhere to be found, and in their bedrooms they find the poem "Ten Little Soldiers". Then, at dinner, they notice ten soldier statuettes. It is soon realized that each guest is somehow responspible for a death. Then the guests are slowly killed off one by one, according to the poem. There are nonstop twists and turns that will keep you guessing not only "Who is the killer," but also "Who will die next, and how?" We also go inside the brains of each guest, witnessing their psychological changes of heart. I strongly reccomend this book to everyone, mystery fans to avid readers, and even if you hate reading, read this book!

AND THEN THERE WERE NONE IS AGATHA CHRISTIE AT HER FINEST!!! No other mystery author can come close. I loved every sentence and hung to every word. Nothing could prepare me for this glittering gem of a novel.
Unlike other Agatha Christie books, in this one, everyone is a detective, as well as a suspect. The story takes place on Indian Island, a nice location off the coast of Devon. 10 people are gathered due to a myriad of reasons, but the victims have one shared characteristic: a dark and tortured past. A sadistic killer is hidden among the 10, and people are picked off, one by one. Because of the killer¿s sick sense of humor, a poem (10 little Indians) is hung in every room, and the deaths all correspond to this poem! Every time someone is killed, one of the ten Indian porcelain figures is smashed.
Spooky, eh? My blood ran cold when the gramophone record, detailing the victims¿ jagged pasts was played. I gasped when the first little Indian figure was destroyed. I can¿t even explain how bad I felt for the last few survivors, dripping with accusations and hysteria.
A masterpiece of such magnitude could only be written by Agatha Christie. I love the way red herrings are spread all over the story, hidden in plain sight. No one can take your suspicions, invert them, and revert them like she can. Even though these 10 victims were killed in 1938, their confusion can still be felt.
If you haven¿t read this book, READ IT NOW!!!!! DON¿T DELAY!!! If you can read, and you have the means to buy it, this book will become your favorite. Everyone should read this book at least once.1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
